Chapter 470 Surprise Purchase

Under Ye Lingchen’s lead, the meeting came to an end. Ye Lingchen clapped to show his satisfaction toward them.As the meeting ended, Ouyang Qing followed Ye Lingchen into the director’s office. She looked like she had something to say.

“If there’s anything, just say it,” Ye Lingchen instructed calmly.

“Chairman Ye, based on our current situation, we have no need to purchase an island. There’ll be constructions after the purchase. The cost is just too great!” Ouyang Qing took a deep breath, then continued, “In my opinion, our company has just started on the right track. It’s more important to grow steadily. We shouldn’t be spending money unnecessarily!”

“What unnecessarily?” Ye Lingchen’s brows twitched, then he asked with a smile, “I have a question for you. Based on our current production scale, how many units of Little Cloud can we produce?”

“Less than 2000 units,” Ouyang Qing replied with a frown.

Ye Lingchen nodded. “Alright, we’ll consider it as 2000 units. At the moment, our daily sales are around 1300 units. If we put all our money into expanding our chain stores and expanding the market, our production won’t be able to catch up!”

“If production is falling behind, we can increase production,” Ouyang Qing said softly, feeling a little insecure.

“Increase production? By how much? How do you plan to increase it?” Ye Lingchen stared at her. “If we did that, it would be a typical malignant expansion!”

“Although malignant expansion can greatly increase our finances in the short term and looks excellent on the surface, it will not endure any shake-ups!” He paused for a moment, then continued, “If anything were to go wrong, it would lead to our company losing everyone in one go!”

“Then we can save up those assets instead of buying an island!” Ouyang Qing suddenly remembered, arguing strongly against it. “That’s just wasting money!”

“You’re wrong again.” Ye Lingchen shook his head. “We’re buying an island to build our headquarters. Building the headquarters is for our foundation! Once the foundation is firm, then our production capacity will naturally come along. By then, even if we were to undergo malignant expansion, we will be able to sustain it.”

Ye Lingchen’s explanation left Ouyang Qing with no room for retort.

“Let’s use another example.” Ye Lingchen paused for a moment. “The previous experiment on self-driving vehicles could only be done digitally. That’s why even though in reality it couldn’t work, you guys didn’t know about it. You guys had no venue to experiment after all! However, with the island, you can fully experiment to your heart’s content and improve on it according to the research data. It won’t work to just rely on simulations.”

“Furthermore, you think that our technology will only stay at this level of child’s play?” The corner of Ye Lingchen’s lips curled upward. “With the island, we can develop more advanced products, for example, robots and flying apparatus. Therefore, only by quickly building our headquarters can we improve the speed of our growth.”

In truth, Ye Lingchen’s explanation had secretly inserted a hidden premise. Under normal circumstances, one should not rush on building such a large scale headquarters. For who could guarantee that robots could be built? Who could guarantee that more advanced technologies could be developed?

However, Ye Lingchen had that confidence. Therefore, his main priority was to purchase the island!

Of course, it was also coupled with a little bit of selfishness.

“Fine, you’ve made your point. However, we can’t produce that much assets in such a short time,” Ouyang Qing replied and sighed.

“Plan first. As for the future, we will move step by step,” Ye Lingchen stated calmly.

As Y Group would never take the path of shared investment, he needed to earn the money required step by step. It would be much easier if he took the shared investment path, as many people would love to join him. However, with that, his future development would be limited. Ye Lingchen’s authority would be weakened. That was a bigger loss.


After the discussion ended, Ye Lingchen finally started to check out his own office.

The office was not much different from those director’s offices one would find in TV shows. The seat was facing the streets with a big french window. Standing by the window, one could take a good look far far away, watching the crowd coming and going below the building—it gave him a wonderful field of vision. There was even a park nearby. The location and height of the office were just right.

Ye Lingchen smiled faintly. ‘From now on, I’m one of those dominating bosses.”

Right at that moment, his gaze paused momentarily, focusing on an article in the newspaper on his desk. His brows twitched as he brought it closer for a read.

“Oh, Chairman Ye, this is the information I’ve found regarding Amaterasu Genetics. I was waiting for you to have a look at it when you came back,” Ouyang Qing stated.

Ye Lingchen nodded, taking a good long look at Ouyang Qing. “Thank you.”

She had surely watched the live stream. Otherwise, she would not specifically investigate Amaterasu Genetics.

Reading the news, his frown deepened.

It was no small news. The title was bolded, [Amaterasu Genetics completely bought over Thousandsprout Healthcare!]

Ye Lingchen was no stranger to both companies. Putting Amaterasu Genetics aside, Thousandsprouts Healthcare’s female director Dong Miaomiao was fresh in his memory.

That woman was smart, beautiful, and resourceful. She was quite ambitious as well. It was impossible for her to give up her own company.

Yet, her company was completely bought over? Something was not right.

“Sun Nation? This Amaterasu Genetics is actually a company from the Sun Nation?” Ye Lingchen asked. No wonder it was named Amaterasu.[1] That was the Sun Nation’s phrase, meaning to side with an evil god.

Ouyang Qing nodded. “Those you met were from the Chinese branch of that Sun Nation’s company. Plus, their company is huge, and is very active internationally. The Sun Nation even allocated a huge plot of land for them to run their research and developments.”

“What are your views regarding their purchase of Thousandsprout Healthcare?” Ye Lingchen asked calmly.

“I think it should be due to the giant python meat!” Ouyang Qing’s expression turned serious. “Genetic companies are unrelenting when it comes to such unique creatures. Furthermore, Amaterasu Genetics had shown their determination to obtain the giant python during the auction. Although they didn’t get any, Thousandsprout Healthcare did manage to purchase a piece of giant python meat. They would naturally have Thousandsprout Healthcare in their sight.”

After purchasing Thousandsprout Healthcare, that giant python meat would naturally fall into Amaterasu Genetics’ hands.

“If that’s the case, then I’ve indirectly harmed Thousandsprout Healthcare,” Ye Lingchen lamented.

Based on Dong Miaomiao’s personality, she would not allow her company to be bought over. This result was obviously orchestrated by Amaterasu Genetics with some unknown tactics.

According to the data, Amaterasu Genetics was no friendly company. They would do anything to achieve their goal.

‘I wonder how that girl is doing.’

“You can’t say that. What you did was right. It can only be said that Thousandsprout Healthcare’s luck was really bad,” Ouyang Qing stated. Following that, she looked at Ye Lingchen and warned him in a serious tone, “You’re not the chairman of Wanrong Technology. You can’t let anything happen to you. I will not allow you to try anything dangerous!”
